I've finished my shopping list for Christmas 2010 already.

I know. We joke about it every Christmas...about how the children seem to be having more fun with the boxes the gifts came in than with the gifts themselves. But I think after yesterday I've come to a decision: For Christmas 2010, the children will receive boxes.

This is a brilliant idea. I know it is because the gifts we spent a fortune on this past Christmas received a few glorious moments of attention on Christmas morning. But the gigantic box my new chair came in?

It has been a train,

a house,

a spaceship,

a sarcophagus,

an ideal place in which to complete schoolwork,

a sled,

and a really cool thing to tote around in the wagon.

What kind of toy provides that much amusement?

So here it is...

My Christmas 2010 Gift List:

Audrey: box

Michael: box

Jacob: box

Alex: Notice she is not in any of the box pictures. I guess she's too mature for a box. I'll have to figure something else out for her. Still...that's quite a savings for the Christmas 2010 Budget!

Boxes are way too much fun. I had a TV box for almost 6 months. My parents had to eventually throw it away after they realized that with me in it was a Pet Mouse....:)I will miss that Box and that Mouse too...Kids enjoy the box! Great post. Have a nice weekend...:)
